Lyrics:

Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat.
(Trans. Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands.)

Show forth, O God, your might, which you have shown for us.
For the sake of your temple high in Jerusalem, may kings come to you bringing their tribute.

Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, praise the Lord who rides on the heavens, the ancient heavens. Sing praise to God, praise the Lord. He thunders his mighty voice.  Come acknowledge the power of God.

His glory is over Israel; his might is in the skies. God is to be feared in his holy place. He is the Lord, Israel’s God. He gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God! Praise the Lord!

Notes: Scored for SATB choir and organ; optional brass (2 trumpets, 3 trombones) and percussion
